“You're cooking?” Nina asked, blinking in disbelief.
“If I don’t, what will you eat?” Jerreplied matter-of-factly. “Judging by the situation, they'll be talking for at

“I'm fine,” Jesse said. The pain had already passed—it had just been a sharp bite for a moment.

Even after they got hthat evening, Jesse was still brooding.
“Jesse?” Nina waved a hand in front of his face.
He didn’t respond, his thoughts still tangled.
